November 2026

This update includes changes for Survey123 Mobile, Survey123 Studio, and the Survey123 website.

Survey123 Mobile—26.2.4

Fixes and improvements include the following:

  • Autosend settings added for surveys and QuickCapture projects.

  • Recover interrupted work with Autosave.

  • Use AI to extract information from images and text with analysis calculations.

  • Turn text questions into interactive address search with geocode text questions.

  • Search for addresses, coordinates, or other locations in the map with geosearch.

  • In the tabular view, answer select questions and see questions with relevant expressions. See grid layout in the form view for a tabular repeat.

  • Edit and resend submitted data when the survey’s Sent folder has editing enabled.

  • Populate fields in QuickCapture projects with location and travel variables from your device, and use photo locations to place points.

  • Use folder, filter, and action URL parameters in app links that open surveys.

Survey123 Studio—26.2.3

Fixes and improvements include the following:

  • Browse and download surveys previously published from Survey123 Studio, Survey123 web designer, or Survey123 Connect.

  • Provide the choices in select questions through CSV files linked to the survey.

  • When included in the tabular view, select questions can be answered, questions with relevant expressions display, and read-only expressions are applied dynamically per row. Choose if values will be copied to a new record using the includeInCopy parameter. Grid layout can be used to design the layout of the form view for a tabular repeat.

  • Use aggregate functions count, sum, min, and max to return values derived from responses across repeats. Use the indexed-repeat function to return the value from a specific question in a repeat record.

  • Review your design in additional form preview modes (Fit on screen, Smartphone, Tablet and Monitor).

  • Create the _results feature layer view when publishing so that the survey's results are available for reporting, sharing, and additional downstream workflows.

  • Specify when calculations are evaluated using calculation modes.

  • Republishing a survey now applies field alias and domain changes to layers created through Survey123.

  • Allow editing sent survey records or turn off the Sent folder.

Survey123 website

Fixes and improvements include the following:

  • Edit surveys published from Survey123 Studio or Survey123 Connect in the web designer.

  • A bug was fixed in which secure surveys wouldn't open in a browser when ArcGIS Online was configured to only use ArcGIS Enterprise (SAML) logins (BUG-000151783).

  • A bug was fixed in which hosted feature layer view settings weren't preserved when republishing from the Survey123 web designer (BUG-000150919).
